Timelines are a powerful way to view and navigate individual matches. They come with tools that assist with presenting and managing all aspects of matches in your library.

Overview
The timeline view is the detailed view of a coded match in your library. It combines a coded timeline with the video and other actions that make it easy to navigate and analyze your matches.
From within the timeline view, you can update the timeline, click on coded items to navigate to specific events, and use tools such as the clip viewer and the remote window to improve the viewing and presentation experience.
Clip viewer
Click on any individual event or row to open the corresponding events in a separate, standalone window.
The clip viewer is great for reviewing individual rows - such as viewing all of the goals for and against - as well as presenting a row of clips that have been created specifically for a match presentation.
